The battery is rated at 3.82 V and 11.1 Wh of energy, for a total of 2915 mAh – nearly double the capacity of the 1560 mAh unit in the iPhone 5s, and slightly larger than the 2800 mAh burner in the Galaxy S5.

The vibrator assembly is located to the right of the battery, below the logic board. It contains a delicate array of copper coils. These create alternating magnetic fields that shake a permanent magnet mass, which rides on a couple of springs.
